...body to which monks in a Thai temple bow in veneration. In Britain, Beckham and his wife Victoria, the former Posh Spice of the Spice Girls, have replaced Princess Diana as the staple of celebrity culture, adored by young and old, men and women, straight and gay. Last week ace trend spotter Marian Salzman of the advertising agency Euro RCSG Worldwide identified Beckham - who likes to say how comfortable he is with his feminine side and who has been known to wear a sarong - as the epitome of "metrosexuality," which, since you ask, is the characteristic of heterosexual...
...Deal For Real? Buying David Beckham enriches Real Madrid's commercial prospects but may leave it poorer on the pitch. Rumors swirling around the Spanish soccer club suggest the arrival of the English star has upset Luis Figo, Madrid's spiky-haired Portuguese ace.

Two years ago Nike signed tennis prodigy Brendan Evans, now 17, for $250,000, and Russian tennis ace Maria Sharapova, 16, pocketed $750,000 from Prince. The lucrative deals are a risk: athletic-company endorsements mean the kids lose amateur status and can't compete in college athletics, which can push them prematurely into the pro arena. The parents of tennis wunderkind Donald Young...
...Wildcats, seeded third and ranked seventh nationally, held all the cards, with home turf, thousands of fans and one of the best starting lineups to hit the floor this year. However, No. 14 seed Harvard’s ace popped up in the fourth quarter, in the form of timely three-pointers that ignited a Crimson rally and cut Kansas State’s 19-point lead to a mere eight with just six minutes...
